[00:00:00] The Irish Rover - Johnny Logan

[00:00:02] Written by：Joseph Crofts

[00:00:08] On the fourth of July 1806

[00:00:12] We set sail from the sweet cove of cork

[00:00:15] We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks

[00:00:19] For the grand city hall in New York

[00:00:23] 'Twas a wonderful craft

[00:00:25] She was rigged fore and aft

[00:00:27] And oh how the wild wind drove her

[00:00:30] She stood several blasts

[00:00:32] She had twenty seven masts

[00:00:34] And they called her the Irish rover

[00:00:38] We had one million bags of the best sligo rag

[00:00:42] We had two million barrels of stone

[00:00:45] We had three million sides of old blind horses hides

[00:00:49] We had four million barrels of bones

[00:00:53] We had five million hogs

[00:00:55] And six million dogs

[00:00:57] Seven million barrels of porter

[00:01:00] We had eight million bales of old nanny goate tails

[00:01:04] In the hold of the Irish rover

[00:01:08] There was awl Mickey coote

[00:01:10] Who played hard on the flute

[00:01:12] When the ladies lined up for a set

[00:01:16] He would tootle with skill

[00:01:17] For each sparkling quadrille

[00:01:19] Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet

[00:01:23] With his smart witty talk

[00:01:25] He was cock of the walk

[00:01:27] And he rolled the dames under and over

[00:01:30] They all knew at a glance

[00:01:32] When he took up his stance

[00:01:34] That he sailed in the Irish rover

[00:02:09] There was Barney Mcgee

[00:02:11] From the banks of the Lee

[00:02:13] There was Hogan from County Tyrone

[00:02:16] There was Johnny Mcgurk

[00:02:18] Who was scared stiff of work

[00:02:20] And a man from Westmeath called Malone

[00:02:23] There was slugger o'toole

[00:02:25] Who was drunk as a rule

[00:02:27] And fighting Bill Tracy from dover

[00:02:31] And your man Mick Mccann

[00:02:33] From the banks of the Bann

[00:02:35] Was the skipper of the Irish rover

[00:02:39] We had sailed seven years

[00:02:41] When the measles broke out

[00:02:43] And the ship lost it's way in the fog

[00:02:47] And that whale of a crew

[00:02:48] Was reduced down to two

[00:02:50] Just myself and the captain's old dog

[00:02:54] Then the ship struck a rock

[00:02:56] Oh lord what a shock

[00:02:58] The bulkhead was turned right over

[00:03:01] Turned nine times around

[00:03:03] And the poor old dog was drowned

[00:03:08] 1 2 3

[00:03:09] I'm the last of the Irish rover
